The Press Is Still Treating One Nation as the Third Party, but the Polls Say Otherwise. The mainstream media still frames One Nation as the pesky third player on the conservative side splitting the conservative vote. But in reality, One Nation is no longer the lower-placed minor party. It is beating the Coalition outright. Recent polls paint the picture clearly: Roy Morgan : One Nation 32%, Coalition 16.5%. DemosAU: One Nation 28%, Coalition 23%. Newspoll: One Nation 27%, Coalition 20%. MRP modelling: One Nation projected to win 46–59 seats; the Coalition just 7–21. This is a structural shift. One Nation has overtaken the Liberals and Nationals as the primary vehicle for centre-right voters in regional, suburban and outer-metropolitan seats. The old playbook of treating One Nation as untouchable and insisting the Coalition remains the only legitimate non-Labor force no longer applies. Senior Liberals have begun hinting at “whatever it takes to beat Labor.” The press can keep writing about One Nation as the eternal third party, but the polling reality demands a reality check. If the Coalition wants to stay relevant and actually be part of a future government, then alignment through joint policy work on cost of living, immigration and energy, plus disciplined preferences is no longer optional. It’s the only path forward

The weekend's poll is encouraging but it’s only a poll. The real verdict comes on election day and we'll be working hard every day. Australians are doing it tough and they want change. People are telling me they feel like they’ve been left behind and they’re looking for leadership that will actually turn things around. I’ve stayed true to my convictions. putting forward policies, speaking up, and fighting for what I believe Australia should be. There’s still a lot of work to do, but these signs show that more people are starting to listen and see the need for a different direction. One Nation will keep pushing forward, standing up for everyday Australians, rewarding hard work, and making sure we don’t head further down a path that puts our future at risk. This country can be stronger: only if we’re prepared to make real change.

So many reasons to leave this abhorrent agreement. The Ratchet Mechanism Every 5 years Australia is legally expected to make its emissions targets stronger (Article 4). There is no off-ramp. We’ve already gone from 26–28% by 2030 → 43% by 2030 → now 62–70% by 2035. It locks us into ever-harsher targets forever. Drives the Net Zero Madness. While the word “net zero” isn’t in the treaty, the whole agreement is built to force countries toward it. This is the main reason for skyrocketing power prices, unreliable energy, and the destruction of coal and gas industries. Massive Double Standards. Australia (1.2% of global emissions) is forced to lead while China and India (the world’s biggest emitters) get to keep building hundreds of coal plants with almost no real pressure. We cripple our economy while they get a free pass. Loss of Sovereignty. It hands real influence over Australian energy and economic policy to unelected UN bureaucrats and international pressure. Huge Cost to Families & Jobs. Higher electricity bills, factory closures, job losses in mining and manufacturing, billions sent overseas in “climate finance”, and a weaker economy. It is a scam, it is totally against the best interests for Australians. We would expect this from Labor but Angus Taylor should hide his head in shame for thinking that it is okay for Australia to stay in the Paris Agreement.

So you don’t get it twisted from the media, I want you to be able to hear every word of One Nation’s gas policy, in full. We want the Australian people to take ownership of our natural resources, for the government to act as a partner in encouraging more oil and gas production, take care of our fuel and energy security, and pay down our debt. I said much more on this at the Australian Energy Producers conference in Adelaide. This is my policy announcement in full, with additional Q and A from the 14 minute mark. We will continue to consult on this and make sure we get it right. One Nation has a vision for future generations, not just the next election cycle.
